Nico, Thanks for the pointer.
I haven't yet found a SRPM in the 7.4.1408 vault that is not part of SCL
itself which has a dependency on software collections or python3x.
Do you know of one?
To emphasize, we are building nfv7 tagged vpp packages for Centos as
follows:
http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=19838
Are you recommending that we provide our package as part of scl as an
alternative?
So far our plan is to disable the new python3 dependent feature until
Centos8 release so somebody downloading NFV packages wouldn't require
anything other then Centos base packages.
